Cavalry troops and their horses are shown drawn up in front of Chicago & Alton locomotive No. 601, so the engine itself becomes part of the scene rather than just a backdrop. Railroads of this era often carried troops and mounts, and a photograph that pairs a locomotive with soldiers and horses captures the way rail and the military were tied together. Pay attention to the engine's large smokestack, cab and driving wheels, which show how heavy and imposing steam power looked to people standing beside it.
